"Confessions of A Mask" - Yukio Mishima

The main protagonist is referred to in the story as Kochan. Being raised during Japan’s era of right-wing militarism and Imperialism, he struggles from a very early age to fit into society. Like Mishima, Kochan was born with a less-than-ideal body in terms of physical fitness and robustness, and throughout the first half of the book (which generally details Kochan’s childhood) struggles intensely to fit into Japanese society. Due to his weakness, Kochan is kept away from boys his own age as he is raised, and is thus not exposed to the norm. This is what likely led to his future fascinations and fantasies of death, violence, and sex. In this way of thinking, some have posited that Mishima is similar.

Kochan is homosexual,and in the context of Imperial Japan he struggles to keep it to himself.

The Longdrone Flowers are a four piece, experimental psychedelia, garage rock, shoegazing band originating from St Helens. In early 2012, each member had their own project, but they all wandered into a musical wilderness, until finally they were struck with an epiphany in early 2013. After claiming to see God, they stumbled out of the desert together, a band of misfits and miscreants. The line up now complete, The Longdrone Flowers are sharing their unique mix of shoegaze, noise pop and Krautrock all over the U.K to the satisfaction of audiences everywhere.
